This set includes both the custom German style Chef Knife and the Hybrid Paring/Prepping Knife, along with the matching display stand so you can show them off in your kitchen. Both blades are made from the Broken Anvil Knifeworks "Metroid Pattern" that Charlie Bridges forged and sent to me. From there I forged these two to shape and created matching sets of custom scales that would play off of his steel pattern.The scales feature carbon fiber, curly maple bolster with G10 spacers and accents. The chef knife is 12.5 inches overall with a 9 inch cutting edge and the Hybrid Paring knife is 9 inches overall with a 5 inch cutting edge. The stand is magnetic with matching curly maple back pieces.

Hand Wash Only and Dry Immediately. This blade is high-carbon steel and is subject to rusting if not properly cared for. Never soak the knife in water for any amount of time and never put any handmade knife in the dishwasher! Routine waxing or oiling of the blade can help to protect the steel from rust and the handle from water damage.
Please note that no custom-made knife should ever be put in a dishwasher! Custom knives, especially hand-crafted knives, are not dishwasher safe and react poorly to the heat and harmful chemicals in dishwasher detergents. Please remember to hand-wash only with a mild soap and water, then dry as soon as possible. For extra protection you can also apply a light coating of knife wax or coconut oil to the blade and handle, then wipe them clean, which will help protect them and keep them serving you for years to come. This is especially important for knives with wooden handles and/or carbon steel blades. Both wood and steel are porous materials and can and will break down or rust if not properly cared for. Remember, take care of your knife, and it will take care of you.
